Pest and Disease Control

Pest and disease control is a series of actions to prevent, reduce, or eliminate disturbances caused by pests (such as insects, rodents, and nematodes) and plant diseases (such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses) which can damage plants and reduce agricultural yields.

Advantages of Integrated Pest Management

Environmentally Friendly: Reduces the use of hazardous chemicals that can pollute the environment.
Cost Effective: Reduces agricultural input costs due to less pesticide use.
Preventing Resistance: Reduces the risk of pests becoming resistant to certain pesticides.
